What is the dearest of treasures
What is the sweetest Of pleasures
Bliss that oerruneth all measures.
Love is its name. 1t is Love.
Sweet is the bliss of pursuing,
Dear is the joy Of the wooing;
Happiness lies in subduing
Hearts that are strangers TO Love.
Whispered its VOWS are and tender;
Virtue its strongest defender;
Every true heart longs to render
Homage and honors to Love.

Interstate Commerce.

The first annual report of the interstate
commerce commissioners asserts that the
act is now in operation in all parts of the
country, and has been found generally
beneficial, railroad earnings increasing
while tariff rules have been reduced. The
commission holds that express companies
connected with railroads come within the
province of the act, but expresses doubt
as to the liability of express companies
independent of railroads. Sleeping car
companies, live stock car companies and
oil companies that transport in tanks, the
commission think are liable to discrimi-
nate, and the attention of congress is
called thereto. The commission announces
that since the law went into effect the
pooling of freight and railroad earnings
has stopped, and that the more serious
evils Of which the people complained have
ceased to exist

Stepping into druggists store the other day, our
attention called to something new for the cure
of coughs and colds, which we were informed was
having Il wonderful success wherever tried. The
druggit explained the secret OF its remarkable
efficacy: The preparation is a compound of
lactart the pure acid OF milk and honey, and its
effectiveness is owing to the wonderful mucus dis
solving power of lactart, and the well known sooth
ing and healing qualities of honey. the combina-
ton of sweet and sour for the cure of throat
troubles has been tried from time immemorial, and
in the Lactart and Honey this principle is found in
its most effective form. The taste of the new RENE
dy is simply deli ghtful, and its curative effect is tes
titled to by the thousands who have tried and are
now using it. In climate like ours, where coughs
and colds are so eternay prevalent, remedy such
as Lactart and Honey is simply a national boon.
Nothing better has been devised for children.
Says NJ f. A Blaisdel of Boston: 81 desire to add
my testimonial to the merits of Lactart and Honey
for coughs, colds, hoarseness and sore throat. 1t is
a sovereign remedy. and no family can with safety
be without bottle of Lactart and Honey in the
house."
